Analysis Conducted On Bayhorse Flotation Concentrate Samples

VANCOUVER – Bayhorse Silver Inc, has conducted an XRF field analysis of the Bayhorse flotation concentrate samples from its silver-copper-antimony-zinc rich Bayhorse Silver Mine in Oregon. A 20 kg sample was taken from three (3) locations within one seven (7) tonne (7.5 ton) flotation concentrate stockpile at the Bayhorse Mill, of which a 6.5 kg (14.3lb) sample was field tested using the Company’s Sci-Aps “X” series X-Ray Flourescence Unit (XRF) and separated into three (3) separate samples. One 5.5kg (12lb) was sent to Allihies, one 0.5 kg (1.1lb) sample was submitted to Paragon Laboratory for full metals analysis, including sulphur content, to compare to the XRF field analysis, and one reference 0.5 kg sample that is kept at the Bayhorse Mill.
Four XRF field analyses measurements were taken of the 6.5 kg samples in order to get a representative analysis.
The Company has 22 tons of flotation concentrate derived from sorting and milling Bayhorse underground development material and setting up the Payette, Idaho, flotation mill. Development material was derived from installing new workings prior to 2019, including 750ft of bolted and screened haulage way to access the historic mineralized zones, a 250 ft secondary escape way, and 300 ft of drifts and raises to safely access historic workings, as well as cleaning up historic mined stopes and establishing working faces in preparation for mining. The development material is not run of mine and is of variable grade and is not representative of what can be expected of mining developed stopes.
CEO, Graeme O’Neill, said, “While the sampling was conducted on Mine development material, and not representative of what we will actually be mining, we were very pleasantly surprised at the percentages of copper, antimony, and zinc recovery in the concentrate along with the silver. We have another 100 tons of sorted Mine development material to mill and float, and will look forward to the leach testing results to determine whether we can install a pilot leaching system at the Bayhorse Mill so all the metals become payable.”
